#WHO LET JEVIL DRIVE?!

[clowny-rolls]

i've recently been reading good omens LMAO (my dad won't let me watch the show) i was gonna add a funny little strip, but i lost motivation to draw it, so i'm gonna do text instead jevil: OH BOY, I'M ALLOWED TO DRIVE! spamton: WAIT, I THOUGHT YOU [[don't know?]] HOW TO [DRIVE]! jevil: hang tight >:) spamton: I KNOW YOU'RE [[dress up]] AS CR0WLEY, BUT WHO THE [#$%^] PUT YOU BEHIND THE WHEEL?! (fast banjo music plays as jevil drives off a cliff)

[wonderfull-star]

I decided to replay the Deltarune after 3 years and I noticed a lot of interesting details.

There are a LOT of interesting details that I didn’t know about. Well, or which I forgot about.

Let me start with the fact that I decided to play the 2nd chapter from the game file of the 1st chapter. And guess what? I didn't regret it at all. I kept all the things, armor and weapons from the previous part. And most importantly, now I have two shadow crystals (from defeating Jevil and Spamton, of course). Seam told me where Jevil and Spamton got these crystals from. (I can even say we have become great friends now) After that, one thing became interesting to me. What if it was the discovery of these shadow crystals that drove them crazy? What if Seam is not who he seems at all, and if we give him all these crystals and collect them all together, then a new secret boss will appear - W.D.Gaster...? Yes, I believe that all these shadow crystals are parts of Gaster. And if we collect all of them then we will get Gaster as the final secret boss. Perhaps in this way we can “bring him back to the real world.” Who knows… Now I'm wondering if Sans and Papyrus will have anything to do with this?

Well. It just becomes suspicious that Seam knows about all the secret bosses. And why did he need the shadow crystals anyway? I don't think that finding all these crystals from SECRET bosses will somehow affect the main plot, right? I believe that since Seam knows about Jevil, Spamton and other future secret bosses, then he probably knows about the “mystery man”. What do you think of it?

He’s suspicious…

So how did the shadow crystals drive Jevil and Spamton crazy? I think that over time they began to hear voices coming from there that completely changed their view of the world. Jevil began to see the world as a game, and Spamton literally felt like a puppet who was trying with all his might to get rid of the strings and finally become free. Moreover, Jevil and Spamton are not even villains at all. They didn't have particularly evil intentions. The game, on the contrary, tried to show their resemblance to Kris.

incoherent rambling about Dess As Strange Someone

man like. ive always been curious about the idea of dess as the Strange Someone but it's really REALLY driving me nuts lately ever since the idea of her actually being more of the “Eldritch force” (or at least the source of it, or maybe a lure for it) than gaster is has really started sticking in my cotton. like seam never tells us what the Someone said to jevil, just that he started going mad after meeting them, and the SB’s knowledge of their nature as light world objects seems to be coming from the shadow crystals, which aren't necessarily being given out by Someone (spamton found his in the NEO body); so like. what is Someone even saying to them then. are they even saying anything to them or are they just Affecting them in some visceral way. even in spamton's case we don't really know if it was Someone giving him business advice or if it was fucking, Mike or whoever lol. honestly the “garbage noise” on the line has always stuck out to me as inconsistent because if the whole deal with the Phone Friend is that they stopped calling without warning then it doesn't make sense for them to have called one last time right before spamton went off the deep end. so yeah like Someone is maybe a completely different force from Phone Friend, and if they are, then we still have no idea what Someone is saying or doing to these guys lol

and you have the gaster-y bit in lost girl being the same as the gaster-y bit in the “freedom motif,” and spamton spontaneously channeling the UNUSED strings, and the whole thing about the puppet scarf feeling like guitar strings, and pulling strings and making them ring being evocative of someone playing a guitar. and with the latter thing – what if spamton isn't speaking entirely metaphorically there? what if he actually heard some song on a guitar – the ringing of strings – that “ripped up” his heart, or like, was so emotionally overwhelming that it just broke him?

i guess something could be said for the idea of dess being like, this powerful symbolic figure of being trapped and helpless against her fate, kind of a thrown away toy in her own right, but still having a powerful drive or desire to be free; and let's say she's playing or manifesting music from the bottom of the Dark Hole, an act that itself reflects a will to live despite the circumstances, and this is somehow being broadcast out in such a way that, if it reaches someone who's receptive enough to it (someone in a similar position, perhaps) it worms itself into their brain and short-circuits them. like it's not even Trying necessarily to reach these people in particular, or break them – her only motivation is for someone, anyone, to hear her, and in a way she's succeeding. it's just that the Vibe she's putting out is so powerfully relatable to these people and tugs so hard at their hearts that it overwhelms them with such an unmanageable amount of self-recognition and sympathy and inspiration to the point that they all end up self-destructing in their own special ways

idk I guess this all comes back to a question ive been kicking around for a long time, which is whether the SBs (and seam, and maybe rouxls) share all these gaster-y traits and associations because gaster is the one who directly or indirectly influenced all of them (that is, they take on aspects of him as a result of contact with him), or whether gaster shares these things because they're commonalities among everyone influenced by the same force (he didn't influence them so much as he's one of them). is even his leitmotif derived from lost girl, and not the other way around? that might be a stretch but i mean. who knows lol. but it does get back to the idea that gaster is SB-like himself, a character who was literally discarded from undertale (though there could be ways an unshattered wingdings deltarune could have been SB-like and susceptible to something like this too – a shy little brother with no friends, or a darkner based around a weird, maligned font, or so on). and gaster is also arguably self-destructing in his own way, like a secret boss, just on a bigger scale (like. he literally shattered into pieces and that wasn't even the end of it for him. Lol). maybe out of the affected cohort gaster is special because he’s apparently the only one who was able to keep his mind even halfway intact after being “contacted” but also even he is just steadily fucking Losing It. idk I feel like that does kind of add some layers to the general idea of gaster trying to keep himself together (literally ha ha am I right. because he exploded.) and being kind of preoccupied with self-control, seeming to like… put a lot of energy into coming off as rational and calm and collected, etc. as if he knows he's going nuts and he's trying to hide it or deny it or stave it off or something. fucking… memoryhead… anyway

[a-chaotically-small-lunta]

Alright so AU huh? Mmh well if you know me you know that I love Deltarune. Guess what AU the deltarune fan base hasn’t made yet, at least to my knowledge. The Borrower AU

SO, guess it’s my job huh? Alright, here it is the Borrower AU for Deltarune aka

Minirune

So the basis of this AU is quoted simple, the darkners and the dark worlds are the borrowers and the world of borrowers within the walls. Darkners are tiny about borrower size (around 4 inches on average but with such size variations it can vary haha!) anyway, the darkners used to help the giant Lightners in the light but one day something happened, and the darkners didn’t dare go back out to the light. Many believe the Lightners left them and Chose to ignore the darkners, others believe the Lightners did something to make darkners want to hide. Who knows the real reason.

The dark worlds mostly remain the same, being in the same buildings as they were in game, the only difference is that they are living in the walls, floors, and ceilings. Here’s the cool bit, the darkners still have their powers but they have one extra one, they can turn into the object that represents them. At least to a certain degree. For example Lancer would turn into his card, the Queen (while yes is probably the computer) would be able to shift into a microchip or even a small mainframe or flash drive. I haven’t really decided on that yet haha.

Anyway, the story would be quite similar with kris and susie discovering this hidden world and exploring it. How? Well of course they get shrunk! They have to travel through the dark world to find the fountain that shrunk them and close it in order to get back to their normal size. However even after the fountain is closed the darkners stay darkners, they just lose the ability to hide in plain sight. So susie and kris can let the darkners decide to stay in their current homes or come with them to a new home where they don’t have to worry about being seen by other Lightners.

Now what about our favorite two lads? I’m talking Jevil and Spamton of course? What makes them, them in this AU? Simple really, they talk to a lightner. They learn and got help from a lightner or the knight (since I’m still not 100% sure the knight is a lightner but eh) Both had contact with a lightner and got different things from them. Jevil learned more about how small he really is and how little of an effect he would have on the larger world around him, to which he responds that since his actions wouldn’t matter, that means he can do anything. He also plays with this lightner a lot and this made the kings upset because his interactions with the lightner was putting everyone in danger. So they locked him up. Meanwhile spamton meets mike (who I’m assuming is another darkner but I’m not 100% sure) and mike introduces him to a lightner who supplies him with all these items and trinkets. He becomes well known as one of the best borrowers in the walls, until the lightner and mike just disappear one day. Then everything goes downhill. He is forced to go borrowering after not actually doing it for awhile and often trips up. Lucky there is a robotic action figure hidden away somewhere that might help him escape this little nightmare he’s found himself in.

Anyway those are just some thoughts of mine about this lil AU haha. Also I tried to design some borrower versions of the lads, might redesign them but I honestly like how they look. I really like Jevil’s big bells lol.

If you have any thoughts, ideas, or even questions about this AU, let me know! I’d love to hear/answer them!

Also for anyone who wants to be a little self indulgent, imagine finding your favorite darkner as a borrower/tiny. Just a little version of them. Maybe they were taking something from you, or perhaps they got stuck and now need you help. Either way, enjoy the daydreams heehehhehehe!

[petra-creat0r]

Alright! CK time!

I don't have all that much art to show for him since I've yet to make an updated ref for him, but I can still talk about the boy!

I think looks wise, he's stayed most the same. I think I've just made him a little more skeletal? Like, he's still got the goatish mammalian features, but he's also got more bone. I also think he's lost his ears. They were getting in the way. Also gave him more digigrade legs.

All and all, I think now he looks more like King from TOH more now than ever.

Let see what else I've got for the boy...

CK is very hyper and energetic. Pretty much a bouncing ball of energy. Along with Chicago, they form my favorite trope, Autism and ADHD besties.

His energy level ironically contrasts the rest of his family, as most the rest of the Dreemurr-Font family are introverts. CK is said to be more similar to his Uncle Papyrus and his kids (excluding Chicago.)

Also like Papyrus, CK speaks in a capslocked font, Comic Kings. Where he gets his name. Because of this, CK has a naturally loud voice and it sounds like he's always yelling.

Despite all these similarities to Papyrus, CK is still definitely Sans's kid. At least as far his love of puns and pranks have to say.

You know UnderSwap Sans? Yeah that's pretty much CK's personality. To the point CK even laughs like the swapped version of his dans. (Also anyone who thinks of Blueberry Sans can leave.)

Much like Chicago is the fankid I've matched to Spamton, CK gets Jevil as a little chaos companion.

I sorta mentioned it before in a jokey sorta manner before but CK does have ADHD and often finds himself struggling in school. He was able to get diagnosed pretty early since Toriel's a teacher and noticed CK struggling and getting distracted in class. Now every Thursday, he has his own study hour after school in his mom's class room as Tori grades papers before driving him home.

Because of this (and his penchant for pranks), CK is what most teachers call a "problem child". After meeting Jevil, the chaotic jester does not help the boy's reputation in this regard.

All in all however, CK is a good kid who doesn't actually want to hurt anyone. His primary trait is kindness and his main magic (asides from fire magic) is healing magic. He just thinks (that what he sees as) harmless pranks and jokes are funny.

I'm still sorting this part out but I'm debating if CK was born with help from a surrogate? Mostly been toying with the idea because of boss monster aging stuff I've been sorting out.

As CK grows up, he does end up chilling out a bit. Still up to pranks and mischief but the burn out hits him in high-school.

CK's full name is just Comic Kings Dreemurr-Font, but Sans and CK keep making jokes about what CK stands for other than Comic Kings.

I think that's pretty much all I've got as far as it comes to CK atm. Feel free to send me asks about him or Sariel. (Or really any of my fankids)

[the-golden-ghost]

spamton for the blorbo blingus ? or jevil whoever you prefer

APOLOGIES FOR TAKING LIKE A WEEK TO DO THIS turns out transcribing is Difficult. Putting the original meme at the bottom for reference.

Also, picking Spamton cause someone else asked about Jevil!

His Shitfucked Priorities:

Food: 4/5 due to food insecurity. He rarely lets on about it though

Sleep: 1/5 he doesn't do this

Sex: 3/5 I mean he's definitely horny but I think his desire to SELL sex is probably higher than his actual sex drive

Pals: 0/5 friends?who needs 'em

Love: He'll SAY it's 0/5 again but it's actually like 4/5

War: 10/5

Kill: 11/5 how do you do capital numbers

Crying: 10/5

Minecraft Skills:

(Disclaimer: I've never mined a craft and I don't know anything about it other than there's blocks and Endermen)

PVP: 4/5

PVE: 1/5

Redstone: 5/5

Hours Sleep They Get Daily: He gets two. A week

Kill Count: I want to be funny and say it's high but actually I think it's more fitting for it to be low. Not cause he's NOT the murder type but because he's so ineffective and irrelevant to the narrative. Even in Snowgrave we would have done all that even if he weren't there, he TRIED to be relevant and an Evil Mass Murderer but he wasn't really. He's just a pathetic little puppet!

[indiemedley]

So, I was thinking a lot about theoretical Deltaswap swaps and then I got to thinking about the Chapter 2 bois, naturally. Now, what most default to for the swaps are like Spamton swapping with the likes of Queen, Swatch, or Jevil. But, I had a new idea.

What if it was every Addison?

And thus, I got to thinking. And what resulted from this line of thinking was a concept of its own. Spamton was still the failure of a salesman he’s always been, but his associates? Now, THEY had talent. Talent enough to draw the attention of a certain individual. One by one, their phones lit up, and they were tasked with carrying out a few chores for a select individual. Spamton was left even further in the dust, well, until the caller pulled out of investing.

Suddenly it would seem as if the other Addisons began to lose their touch, and each and every one of them went out of business without the aid of their new benefactor. They had grown dependent on it, and lost all their latent skills. And like that, Spamton suddenly had no competition anymore, and he was left the only salesman left in Cyber City. Needless to say this wasn’t entirely for the best, as he had to do a lot of extra work to make up for all the missing Addisons.

Despite how they treated him, Spamton still missed them, even going as far as to put up missing posters for them. All the while, trying his best to run every business they left behind. He became stressed, overworked, tired. But he never lost enthusiasm. After all, he was finally a big shot!

But what of the Addisons?

In their destitution and bankruptcy, they had all taken refuge in an alleyway down the street, creating a shoddy little makeshift bazaar near a dumpster they tried to treat like a hotel, devolving into playing make believe to feel like they were still in touch with their sales, swapping who was the seller and who was the buyer. This manic sort of frenzied selling tended to drive off any ACTUAL customers.

When they finally come face to face with the player for the first time, they FINALLY have a customer again after so long, and they won’t this one go. They block off the exit and start to get more and more frenzied trying to get sales out of the player. However, they get a little too violent in their methods. They fight in sync, like a well oiled machine, until finally talked down. They concede and let the player pass through, just as long as they promise to come back and make a sale.

Of course, curiosity killed the cat, and the Addisons are not alone for too long. They manically try to convey to the player about a special item in the basement of the nearby castle, offering to sell a key to said basement. However, they weren’t able to get their hands on a key, so, they instead just sell various makeshift burglary kits to help break in.

And now, we come face to face with the main course of this extravagant swap.

Addison NEO.

After cramming far too many people into a disc and uploading them into one body, the player is met with a horrid hydra amalgamation that stands far larger than the classic Spamton NEO. The resulting abomination is a mess of arms, legs, and wings, seemingly welded together into a mangled beast suspended by a tangled mess of wires with a hideous warped series of arms attached at the back, curving upwards over the beast’s head, culminating in a blaster tipped scorpion’s tail. At its helm are several long necks sprouting from one base, each ending in another horrid Addison head.The beast blocks the path forward, completely barricading the way out with just its sheer size. The Addisons attempt to move, before realizing they were not all given their own individual shots. They start to focus on the player, stating how they feel betrayed, and how their body can make up for it, or at least start to.

The beast shambles forwards, crushing the tracks under where it walks. The other two in the party strike it from behind, causing the mess of wires to lurch the beast upwards, clinging to the ceiling with its various claws and stylish boots. Before the party can escape, however, the coasters roll through, getting everyone their own personal escape vehicle as the enraged Addison NEO descends from the ceiling and begins its rapid manic sprint towards the party, becoming a race for their lives. Addison NEO felt betrayed, and it intends to return the favor.

As it follows closely behind, each head of this mechanical hydra takes its own part in this act of vitriol, with each Addison head having a different series of elemental attacks to use at its disposal to wipe the party out, each head’s color corresponding to the elemental attacks that head wields. Yet the body can also attack with various acts of horror that causes the body to shift and warp in unnatural ways. The beast is felled through pacifism when the party manages to tangle the beast further, preventing its movement entirely.

With immobility taking the wheel, the Addisons slowly begin to come to terms with their failure, and mistreatment of their only other friend. The mechanical monster shuts down, and the party is left to wonder, what would this thing have done if it left the confines of the basement?

Anyway I thought this idea was cool, if people like it, I might elaborate on more swaps and/or more about Spamton and Addison NEO

[stainedglassthreads]

Musings on Kris’ relationship with the Player, and why neither needs to be the villain. 

Also I don’t think that Kris is evil, but I don’t think the Player is evil either. And I don’t think Kris’ relationship with us is as simple as JUST hating us. 

Yes, we can choose to do some truly shitty things. Throwing away Ralsei’s manually repeatedly for one example, the Snowgrave route for a far more shitty example. And I’m really uncomfortable with the implications of some theories that we must keep Kris’ darker impulses ‘in check’ by removing their capability for choice. And yes, I agree that sometimes, Kris absolutely does resent us-- most notably, when we prevent them from playing piano or when we make them drop the Ball of Junk. 

But they seem to really love Susie, and their adventures in the Dark World, and care for Lancer and Roulxs. Through their actions and descriptions in Chapter 2, it has been observed they seem to love Susie most, out of the Darkners and their childhood friend Noelle. Likewise, Kris will feel bitter if you drop the Ball of Junk(implied to be their Dark World inventory), and fumble to grab Lancer and Roulxs if you drop them in the Light World. So there exist things from their adventures as our vessel that they enjoy. And like it or not, with our assistance is how they made these friendships and encountered these people. 

Also... there’s the fact that they do rip the Soul out, displaying they clearly have a method of rejecting us, but keep shoving it back in. 

Why do they do that? With how jerky and stiff their movements are without a soul, I’ve seen it theorized that they may be in great pain or even dying without one. Spamton’s final fate... may support this. But it might also just be... we facilitate their adventures. We’re the one who gives them the right choices, to make Susie and the Darkners love them. To help them figure out how to Spare Darkners. To guide them through the Dark Worlds. As fun as the Dark Worlds are, they can include some really scary situations, like fighting King Spades, Jevil, and Spamton NEO, and would a normal teen with no battle experience really be able to keep a level head and command their friends to win without a bit of supernatural assistance? 

But there’s another thing I keep thinking about, since writing my last post. 

There’s a kind of freedom in helplessness too, isn’t there? 

If it wasn’t your choice, then it also isn’t your responsibility. There’s nothing more you could’ve done. Kris seems to be going through a stressful time in their life with their parents divorced, brother gone, and some classmates regarding them as weak, weird, or cowardly. Wouldn’t it be easier to just... let someone else take the wheel? Someone who’s friendly and personable, and calm and smart, and above all determined to get the best possible ending. 

Yes. You, as the Player, are capable of doing some truly fucked up things in this game. But saying the player is ‘just evil’ is to surrender the choice to do better. To surrender your choice to do better. In Undertale, did you just sit back and watch Frisk grab the controls from you as they went sparing monsters, like an 8bit movie? Or were your choices an active, driving force in helping the monsters reach the surface? 

I think it’d be interesting if Kris wasn’t perfect. if they were selfish, and manipulative, and reckless, and made mistakes in their quest for an adventure and friends. So many mistakes. If maybe their friends got angry at them. And at the very end... they finally took responsibility for their actions, and took initiative in trying to make amends and become a real Hero of Legend. Maybe communicating openly and working with us, instead of ripping their heart out whenever they wanted to do something on their own. 

I think it’d add an interesting layer to the discussion on choices, consequences, and responsibility Undertale and Deltarune present. 

[ramblinseahorsey]

hi! who are your favorite Deltarune characters?

Ahhhhh that's hard! I haven't played chap 2 yet, cause my attention span flew south for the winter, so I don't really know the chap 2 background characters yet to name any. My favorite background character of 1 would probably be that huge bird, I really like how they look, and tbh they surprised me! Oh! Tied with Clover! She's so cute and such a good design!

Overall, I'm pretty predictable. I love basically all Deltarune characters to an extent, the annoying doge just makes such interestin lil dudes. My favorites overall, personality and design, would be the king, Jevil, Spamton, and Susie. Design wise, Seam, Swatch, and Lancer. Actually, Lancer would be a fav too, he's hilarious, and such a darlin. Very brave, and very heroic for a bad guy, hehe. I'll probably love Seam even more when more chapters give more dialogue from them, and maybe Swatch will catch my interest more once I play chap 2.

Susie is just all the best tropes, and done really well. Masculine girl who isn't written as her masculinity being her only personality, lonely bully who just wanted friends all along, loyal to the very end. She's funny, she's coolness incarnate, she's emotionally vulnerable.

I also just love how high her friends tea fuels her, she may tease and bug Ralsei a lot, but like most things, she cares a lot more than she's care to admit, and it's just so sweet. The other characters have vastly different tea numbers because of who they're comfortable around, but!! They all fuel her so much with the power of friendship! Susie just!!! Loves them all so much!!! Don't tell her I called her out on this, but not so secretly, she's the biggest sap of the team!

Jevil, of course!!!!!! JESTERS, BABEYYYY. Mysterious, powerful, goofy, brutal. I love his laugh.

I love that the doge lets fat characters be super powerful in his games too, it's so rare and makes me feel good. They get to be humorous, or fail, without it feeling the same way most fat ppl are written when they are humorous or fail, yaknow? They get to have depth and a whole realm of emotions, or flat out secrecy, instead of the same tropes the same way. They're actually characters.

Jevil being more aware than most people, and suffering mentally for it, is so interesting and tragic, I can see why so many ppl want him and Spamton to interact. They are polar opposites, bound to be good foils, even if they hate each other, but have also gone through a lot of the same existential dread, they could probably yell and laugh and talk for hours, until they destroy wherever their at with their antics.

I think I lean a bit more toward wanting to see his and Seam's dynamic though, a quiet wisdom to balance out his chaotic smarts. I hope they were besties, and get to be besties again.

I want to see the rest of Jevil, when he's not just drunk on power or being vague, his other emotions, his hobbies, him forced to be mundane for a little while, forced to let ppl get to know him, or at least see what that was like in the past. I think it would drive him crazy at first, but he'd find subtle ways to enact chaos within a community without getting arrested. Leave riddles on doorknobs, solve equations without credit or explanation, put jam in shoes if he's feeling especially giggly. We barely know him, but I love him, your honor.

Well.

Actually I haven't been able to beat the jerk yet, so -10/10 actually, he's a bully and a jerk and I hope he steps on a Lego! Jevil cancelled!!!!!!

Idk why I love the King so much, but I do. He's such a satisfying villain. Really puts our teams loyalties in each other and to their morals to the test, and has great emotional tension in his boss fight. His fight is just really fun imho, not too hard, not too easy, nice visually. He's got a good design, good dialogue, and is delightfully nasty.

And his son is babey!!!! He's so sweet I could get diabetes, the funniest dialogue, and just an oddball. I like that he's not random, just weird, like Tilly from Big City Greens, or Greg from Over the Garden Wall. He makes the strangest decisions, but they have a clear line of logic in his optimistic lil kid brain. Realistic written kid in general.

And his dynamic with Susie is one of the best parts of the game!!!! Susie is so lonely and insecure, a kind, goofy little brother is what she's always needed, especially someone who shares her interests in things like mud pies and weapons and "badness". She's just what he needed too, a good influence, someone who values him and isn't just there out of obligation or pity. Someone who loves him, in person. I hope with Lancer's dad not intimidating possible friends away, he gets to make a little rowdy crew to keep him company when officials are busy.

Spamton, Spamton, Spamton. What can I say about tumbley's current funky lil dude that someone else hasn't said better? He's a hilarious, layered, confusing little tragedy. The change from laughter to sorrow can come so quick. His life is hell. His life is *on sale, 1.99 or no money back!!!!!!* He knows so much but cannot tell. I'm not up to date on theories, but if his sadness is Gaster originated, I'm gonna throw hands!! Holy, holey hands!!! Literally, metaphorically, spiritually, technically, *Finally, the vacay you've always dreamed of!!!!* Let the little rat alone! Or give him something less cryptic if ur gonna help and leave, dangit!! Stars, I hope we can bring him back.

[reverssentiment]

Deltarune is definitely saying something about escapism — the first Dark World was all kids’ toys and had a definite sub-theme of nostalgia, in this case for Undertale, and of course Cyber World was a phantasmagoria of distractions and new experiences — but I’m not convinced it’s a straightforward condemnation.

Susie’s emotional issues manifested in the Toy World, as Lancer (the mischievous nominal villain who really just wants to have fun) and King (an abusive father whose obsessive hatred of those who genuinely betrayed him drives him to hurt even those who should be closest to him — hint hint at Susie’s clearly awful home life).

Likewise, Noelle and Berdly got Queen as avatar of their issues, an adult who praises (and constantly tries to control) Noelle but barely seems to know Berdly’s name despite everything he does to impress her, plus the manifestation of the DECEMBER spelling bee, mice, etc. The Dark Worlds are fun but they’re clearly geared to teach moral/emotional lessons and encourage growth.

...so how have Kris’s issues manifested in the Dark Worlds so far? Well, there’s a nihilist murderer in serious denial and a deranged scammer in serious denial, both of whom are dangerous to be around, and they’re both fixated on freedom as the motive behind their actions. Kris’s issues aren’t getting sympathetic representation or air time.

In fact the Dark World appears to be arguing against their thesis of freedom — see Ralsei, a goat-monster Darkner who’s Kris’s approximate height and has their red horns, but he’s courteous, servile and absolutely obedient to his prophesied role (in theory, at least), and universally regarded as fluffy and lovable (he’s clearly designed to be loved, even).

...but these images are being drawn their feelings, not ours. Or maybe they’re a bit of a hybrid on some level — our thesis here (i.e. Ralsei) is an Asriel callback, the representation of our nostalgia, but he’s also Kris’s brother’s image and Kris’s mother’s image and what Kris felt they were supposed to be. And the secret bosses are partly ours (Spamton EX as a hybridization or bastardization of our love for Mettaton, Jevil as an introduction of the concept) and partly all-new original Kris content (Spamton cares about Kris qua Kris and has no precedent as a crooked salesman, and Jevil... well, again, Jevil introduces the concept), theirs.

So, why? Why do they get tutelage through insults and punishments and comparisons to impossible standards, strapped to their chair via our intrusion and denied the chance to blink, where everyone else just gets to have a straightforwardly nice time growing and learning life lessons? Whose playground is this, Kris’s or ours?

(Might compare this to @dead-dove-moment‘s zombie Kris theory — in addressing the urgency of Kris’s situation, we and our Dark World have shifted didactic gears in a way that does more harm than good — “teaching” them, over and over, when just giving them a decent friend group and letting them explore it on their own would do so much more for them.)

[w1tchybusiness]

Deltarune Theory:

I think the secret bosses are all obviously going to explore themes of freedom, but I also think each one is going to be themed around a stage of grief. We’ve seen two already, Jevil representing Denial (I’ll touch on that in a bit) and Spamton representing Bargaining (obvious) meaning that if I’m right the next boss will be anger or depression (Bargaining and Anger will have been swapped, or the order entirely thrown, but this is just for fun.) This might have something to do with accepting the fact that nothing matters, with accepting that you are not free, which is something we see Kris AND our secret bosses struggle with, including struggling with the specific phase that they happen to represent. Jevil rebels and induces chaos to deny his lack of ability to change anything, while Kris does the same thing by removing their soul and acting uninhibited. Spamton obviously bargains, hoping that through deals and business he can buy or bargain his way out of the societal strings that control him, while Kris makes a Fountain of their own will to try and appease you or themselves.

Now onto the Jevil Denial thing, cause it’s not a theory I see often and I believe it’s worth explaining.

Jevil is not just insane and chaos-driven, everything he does is driven by a denial of his lack of ability to change anything. Before he was locked up, he clearly did something rash and punishing in denial of the world/law/forces of nature, whatever, to deserve being locked up. During your interaction with him, he denies being imprisoned at all, claiming you are the ones who need to be let outside (outside being into his cell.) His attitude (“I can do anything,” “Let yourselves outside,” etc.) denies that he is in fact incapable of changing anything, that he does not matter, that he’s tied down. He even denies hurting people, even hurting you, by framing his behaviors as games. Jevil is not just insane. He is in denial.

Spamton is Bargaining. A salesman who made a deal with the devil and was made aware of the strings society pulls on him, and made his way to the top, only to be dropped like nothing when he tried to defy his strings. Now at the bottom, he desperately wants to be free of these strings, of the fact that his decisions are irrelevant, that the strings decide in the end, that nothing he does matters. He does this through bargaining, deals, selling any crap he can find to idiots who will buy it, and making desperate attempts at getting people to help him become strong enough that HIS decisions matter over the strings that puppet him.

To conclude: the deltarune secret bosses, on top of being about freedom, I suspect will be themed around the five stages of grief, likely grieving the fact that you can never truly be free of whatever drives you, and that you don’t matter.

deltarune megapost

I wanted to make a Deltarune post about the lore and the things that aren’t  obvious. And once I do that I wanna focus on why Mettaton is incredibly important to this setting

And also why he poses a problem

Why did Toriel and Asgore get divorced?

Without the setting of Undertale, Asgore and Toriel’s marriage still broke up after they had Asriel. There needs to be a reason though. In UT it was Asgore’s ‘worst of both worlds’ decision regarding killing anybody that fell from the human world, including children. We saw how close they were before this happened. Only something deep and serious caused that rift. In Deltarune, what on earth did Asgore do?

What happened to Dess?

Mentioned a handful of times by Noelle, Dess was her older sister and is mentioned In Undertale.... in that Xbox exclusing casino thing. The way Noelle talks about her, the conspicuous way Noelle gets locked out of her big house - it implies Dess is gone or deceased. Berdly recalls a spelling bee when he and Noelle were younger where she, despite being smarter than him, misspelled ‘December’, allowing him to win.

In the two-player spelling puzzle, it also spells out ‘December’ as Noelle recalls the past and her silhouette regresses to a child while she does so. Being distracted by her sister’s disappearance, rather than pure shyness, could account for her misspelling her name on stage, and it clearly left a big psychological mark for her to have this visual regression in the Dark World.

However, there’s a graveyard in Hometown with no Dess. I heard another theory that she has been missing for years, because where each character’s personal room is made by Queen to reflect their tastes via their search results, Noelle has a calendar where every day is December 25th. This could imply that Noelle continually searches the internet for ‘December Holiday’, her sister’s name, to see if there are clues to her disappearance, but of course the only result you would get is the date of Christmas.

Who is the Knight?

It’s now implied to be Kris, who has been forcibly removing the player’s influence to act on their own. By all accounts the Knight is the game’s main antagonist. Spade King and Queen both mention the Knight as someone who influenced their position - they brought Spade King to absolute power, and showed Queen that creation of new worlds was possible.

We’re led to believe that Kris was doing this, because they’ve been acting outside of the player’s control. Eating the entire pie between chapter 1 and 2 might have been a red herring to cover that they also went to the library and used that knife to slash open a dark fountain there.

However. This has issues. How would they even manage to shuffle slowly all the way to the library and get in the computer lab? The Knight is also the one creating the hidden bosses. They talked to Jevil until he realised he was in a game and he lost his mind; they ruined Spamton’s life by elevating him to success and then crushing him. Whatever the Knight is doing seems to be deliberately planned with key players in mind.

Kris opening the fountain at home at the end of ch.2 can be explained in that you just figured out in Cyber World that anyone determined enough can do this, and so, Kris decided to. So a better question might even be...

What does Kris want?

We have no idea. They are capable of removing the SOUL, ‘us’, temporarily, and putting things in motion we cannot influence. But they also keep putting us back in control afterward. This is hinted at right when ch.2 starts, where if you inspect the cage in Kris’s bedroom they threw us into, the description says it’s inescapable. Meaning Kris came back and took us out, willingly.

They allow us to pilot them through the game. Why? Because they cannot live without the SOUL for long for some reason? Because they’re bad at bullet hell? Why did they slash Toriel’s tyres before opening the fountain, making sure nobody could drive away?? Why did they specifically open the door?

You can find out details about Kris through the creepy way you interact with the townsfolk, who think you are Kris. They play the piano at the hospital waiting room - better than you. They used to go to church just to get the special church juice. It’s all normal, relatable things, not like someone who’s trying to plunge the world into darkness. Judging by their search history portrayed in their Queen’s castle room, they really want to see their brother again. However the castle has a room based on Asriel’s search history too, and Kris (not you) closes their eyes and won’t look at it.

What is Ralsei?

His name is an anagram of Asriel. Is he an extension of Asriel? The slightly flirtier dialogue in ch.2 would point to no. Is he an extension of Kris themselves, given the link between Kris’s childhood habit of wearing a headband with red horns on it, to pretend to be a monster like their family?

Ralsei knows exactly where the Dark World in the school is located, and unlike regular Darkners, knows the world is folded up inside the ‘real world’. There’s a certain whiplash to Ralsei telling you to hop out of his reality into yours and go down the hallway to retrieve all the board game items.

How does he jump from one Dark World to another, without assistance? How does he not get petrified like Lancer and Rouxls? Is this a power level thing because he’s a prince or something else? We definitely do not know enough about Ralsei.

He also says this incredibly suspicious thing after you spare Spamton NEO. Susie was also curious but accepts that maybe it ‘didn’t mean anything’, which is a sure tell that these optional bosses do mean something.

Someone is orchestrating what’s happening, opening fountains, manipulating the rulers, and influencing NPCs to become the optional bosses. Why? I suspect Ralsei for both knowing too much, and pretending something doesn’t matter when it clearly does. Until Asriel actually comes home from college I’m going to suspect he’s involved in this too.

How much does Seam know?

Seam on the other hand knows a lot about what’s going on but is openly withholding information while helping you. He’s nihilistic. He says things like:

One day soon... You too, will begin to realize the futility of your actions. Ha ha ha... At that time, feel free to come back here. I'll make you tea... And we can toast... to the end of the world!

Either this ‘end of the world’ is a reference to The Roaring, where opening too many dark fountains dooms the Dark World and the real one... or, I can’t get out of my head the idea that Deltarune takes place in a fake, or weird reconstruction of Undertale where things don’t match up, and eventually it will have to disappear. After all, powers of determination and creating and manipulating universes are Undertale’s basic bread and butter. How can we look at an Alternate Universe containing the characters we already know and not suspect that? Seam also uses Gaster’s key words, ‘darker, yet darker’, seemingly to clue us in that he’s not off track here.

Why haven’t we seen Papyrus?

This is a bright neon flashing ‘something’s not right’ sign. It’s not like Papyrus’s voice actor was too busy or anything. His absence is noticable and for a reason. Nice of Sans to promise we could meet him despite being aware we’re piloting a child’s body around, though, even if he didn’t follow through.

What locations in town could be used for dark fountains in the next 4 chapters?

If the sequence continues, we have chapter 1 in the school games room, chapter 2 in a computer lab, and chapter 3 in front of Kris’s television, where the aesthetic of each setting influences the world, characters, and enemies in the Dark World created there. Future possibilities include the church, the hospital, sans’s grocery store, Noelle’s house, and the closed bunker.

What the hell’s in the closed bunker

This one’s too obvious, honestly. I think it’ll open for no reason in chapter 7 and a little white dog will bounce out and steal one of your key items and nothing else happens.

Why does Asgore have these

Unlike the bunker feeling like a joke teaser, I gotta believe this is foreshadowing something weird. For example, what does opening a dark fountain in here with the seven flowers do? Does it just take you into Undertale?

Each chapter will have a hidden boss with a ‘soul mode’ from Undertale

Chapter 1 let you stay red, but I think each subsequent chapter is going to change your soul mode to one of the seven colours and design the encounter around that. Purple, yellow, green and blue were used in Undertale, leaving the light blue and orange modes yet to be revealed.

How does Spamton emulate Mettaton Neo’s name, body, and incorporate his battle theme, and the ‘Dummy!’ theme, with no actual connection between them ingame?

This is a really fun one that’s explained over in this post here. Swatch is the Dark World creation from the paint program on the library computers, so he’s able to explain that a Lightner made the robot body decaying in the castle basement that way.

Mettaton went to the library and drew his ideal form, Mettaton NEO, in MS Paint, and the Dark World formed that into a puppet body which Spamton was able to hijack temporarily. So by doing that Spamton was able to channel Mettaton’s appearance, attacks, music, and SOUL mode for the fight.

This might mean that the future hidden bosses, each with their own SOUL mode, might be based on the associated character for that mode (Muffet, Undyne, and Sans or Papyrus), and the boss will take on some aspect of them from their world to leech their fight mechanics.

The Problem With Mettaton

We don’t exactly know what Deltarune is about. It’s an alternate universe where the characters from Undertale already live on the surface, have completely normal lives, but diverge from the storyline of Undertale and, crucially, have not lived through the changes Frisk brought to their lives.

Remember how Undertale had a dozen different ending routes depending on who you befriended? The constant reinforcement in Undertale was that your choices mattered. Through Frisk, you chose to bring Alphys closure about her mistakes, you chose to befriend papyrus instead of attacking him, you chose to help Alphys and Undyne realise their feelings for each other and it’s only doing that that leads to the golden ending and escape to the surface.

Deltarune is the opposite, your choices do not matter. The only thing you can do to force the route of the game to change is to force Noelle into a No Mercy run, which is indirect, and also, a total desperation to mess with an otherwise set course. This version of the characters have not been helped by Frisk - Undyne and Alphys are not together, Papyrus has no friends, Asgore cannot get over himself, and they’re clearly the worse for it, but potentially, you COULD still do these things. In fact it’s hinted that you already are.

But there’s Mettaton.

He’s still a ghost and does not leave his house. In Frisk’s world, Gaster deleted himself, promoting Alphys to royal scientist by bluffing with Mettaton, and she then build him his ideal body. In Kris’s world... Alphys is a school teacher. There’s no barrier to break, no reason to experiment on souls, no Flowey mistake, and no body for Mettaton.

It was sad in Ch.1, but now with the Spamton NEO fight in ch.2, it’s unmissable. Mettaton wants that body and he cannot get it. Alphys in this universe is not going to leave her teaching job and suddenly be able to build a robot. Mettaton is just... screwed out of his happy ending and cannot get it.

So what resolution could this have? If it wasn’t for Mettaton I might believe in the vaildity of Deltarune and Hometown. But. How can you doom this character? If Undertale was the only way Mettaton could be befriended, then Undertale is Primary Universe A and Seam is right - the world of Deltarune is doomed as some kind of aberration. It all relies on how this gets explained in the future, but the core mystery of Deltarune is how exactly this universe intersects with Undertale and whether one is an offshoot of the other. How the Dark World links into that is another complication. But even as we get more fun characters and neat stuff in the Dark Worlds, let’s not forget we have absolutely no idea why Undertale’s characters are living here with no mention of underground or why there are no other humans beside Kris.

[bonetrousled]

i've literally been thinking that same stuff about papyrus and it's driving me bonkers crazy

IKRIKRIKR like. he’s legitimately the ONLY character out of the main cast who doesn’t really get any sort of resolution.

true pacifist? asgore and undyne succeed in bringing the monsters to the surface, asgore also reconciles w himself over the human souls and acknowledges what he did was wrong + undyne finds strength in gentleness and treating perceived “enemies” w kindness. toriel gets herself out of the ruins and out of hiding and is ready to move on and forgive herself concerning her kids. sans gets to relax knowing that he’s out of the underground n can see the stars. mtt finds comfort in being monsterkind’s idol and performs onstage. alphys forgives herself and lets the amalgamates go back home to their families

papyrus?? doesn’t get to join the guard, since it’s over. he gets to be the ambassador but only if you aren’t, and it wasn’t even really one of his main goals to begin with. you could argue that he hoped to be able to ride in a car but it’s not really a concrete, marked change and growth in character in comparison to everyone else. he has friends now i guess but he was already friends w undyne.

we never get to see any of his goals and aspirations beyond popularity + the guard (plus his insistence on these could b another link to the two other allcaps bitches?? jevil and spamton have their own “i wants” that they repeat, ex chaos chaos, big shot. points at papyrus “POPULAR, POPULAR, POPULAR!” raises eyebrow) and i think it’s Intentional bc we all know papyrus is a lying little miscreant when it comes to letting people know how he feels. the only time we see him ever in true pain is when flowey grabs him + the only time we see him truly upset is in the king papyrus ending and even Then he’s still covering it up until sans gets off the phone . i feel insane i didn’t mean to type this much but GHEGERHGRGR

[skyllion-uwu]

Random headcanons I keep meaning to post

-Humans in Undertale and Deltarune just have red eyes. Think about it: Kris has red eyes. Chara has kind of reddish-brown eyes. We never see Frisk's eyes (except for when they're possessed by Chara in a corrupted true mercy ending, which are..... red). Therefore, having red eyes is perfectly normal in the Undertale/Deltarune universe

-In a perfect world where Spamton didn't die and becomes friends with Kris, he reluctantly starts letting them sell to him. However, he buys things at a ridiculously low price unless it's some random shiny thing in which case he will fist over hundreds of kromer for a piece of glass from a bottle or a broken pop tab.

-Jevil listens to hyperpop

-Jevil and Spamton are divorced but also Jevil has no idea who Spamton is. He finally recognizes him as the random guy he had a drive-in wedding with for tax fraud reasons. Also they have an enemies to friend arc

Deltarune's got me going full-on pepe silvia

I’ma just do you a favor and spare you the massive wall of text I have created.

If you don’t wanna read, carry on. If you’re interested in reading stuff I found on Deltarune or looking up Deltarune theories that make a weird amount of sense. Hit “Keep reading” and may whatever deity you worship have mercy upon your soul.

OK, so. the search history in Queen’s guests rooms are likely from the Library’s computer lab.

In the Queen’s mansion she has guest rooms.

She has the search history of those who have visited the Library.

Here is the Queen’s Light world form. A laptop.

No word on who it belongs to. But....Assuming this laptop belongs to the Library, it makes sense that Queen would have the names of several of Kris’ classmates since they got group projects. Might mean the guest rooms were created in order of those who visited the Library recently. Hare are the names of those who would have obviously be there.

Kris and Susie. (were in the Library’s Cyber Dark World at the time so it’d make sense that there names were up and were at the Library to reluctantly work on the group project.)

Jockington and Catti. (Were at the Library the day before, since Jockington was at the Library ‘working’ on the group project. One would have to assume Catti showed up later after her shift at the Diner.)

Noelle and Berdly. (they went to the computer lab and either inadvertantly entered the Cyber Dark World or the dark world’s dark fountain was created by the knight as they were in the Lab.)

MK, Snowy and Temmie were the only students who weren’t in the computer Lab even though they would have every reason to do so.

The leaves one person out....

Asriel.

If I’m right about the guest rooms being there because of recent visitations...then this makes no sense.

What the hell was Asriel doing in the computer lab?....He shouldn’t have had any reason to be there. Not to mention he shouldn’t have even been in town, let alone the Library.

.....the closet.

I always thought the Knight hid in this closet while Berdly and Noelle were in the room and opened a dark fountain that way.....but could it have been Asriel this whole time?...

.....there’s also one more suspect. If it isn’t Asriel. It might be him.

Alvin Boom. The preacher. Son of the late Gerson Boom. 

Looking through this reddit thread disproving Kris being the knight with the same logic I was using since finding that one youtube comment pointing out that both Berdly’s books and Noelle’s books were already out at the time of the fountains sealing, it also looked like Gerson was rather devoted to this angel. What the Angel in Deltarune? What is this religion of the Angel about? Not only that, dialogue from when you talk to him and leave also suggest he’s hesitant and remorseful. Almost like he’s wondering if he’s doing the right thing. But feels like he HAS to do it. 

 https://www.reddit.com/r/Deltarune/comments/pubasl/spoiler_chapter_2_the_knights_true_identity/

There was also an interesting addition in the comments to this thread.

In his neo state as a secret boss. He was talking weird stuff about Heaven.....Neo form looks like an Angel. Angel’s Heaven. Hard to imagine why there wouldn’t be a connection.

This wasn’t in the comments, I’m just illustrating, that Spamton talked about heaven but hadn’t explicitly mentioned the Knight themself.

But one time Spamton DID mention the Knight.....

SPEAKING OF [[Communion]]

KRIS, DID YOU KNOW THAT THE KNIGHT...

No, I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I didn't mean to --

TOO MANY EXCESS VACATION DAYS?? TAKE A GOD DAMN VACATION STRAIGHT TO HELL

Communion. That’s the keyword here. Communion.

Communion is used for religious stuff. Like Communion bread, communion wine. Blood and body of Christ. MAYBE this means Alvin is the Knight. But, we don’t even know if the Knight is at the top of the pecking order. 

And come to think of it. The Knight driving people like Jevil and Spamton to insanity and the religious talk kinda make a weird amount of sense. Considering Jevil thinks of the world as a game, and the religious talk Spamton was giving regarding Heaven and Communion and being an Angel.

When one thinks of religion worshipping a god, one would think of an All-knowing God. Someone Omnipotent. An all-knowing all-powerful being who created this world. Someone who’d know the answer to the question “What’s the meaning of life? Why do we exist?”

After meeting the Knight, Jevil lost his mind, and driven insane. "if this entire world is a game, why obey the rules? Why follow any rules. I can do whatever I want and it doesn’t matter.” would be his thought process. 

After meeting the Knight, Spamton lost his mind and began to feel powerless. He’s trapped. and felt like he could never be free or truly live for himself.

Not sure what else to describe this, Just that religion and the purpose of our existence felt like it resonated too well to not share a connection.

And if that’s the case, it’s highly possible Alvin is connected. Asriel COULD be helping him.....His name was listed in the Queen’s guest rooms in her mansion.

I don’t know. Too many questions, not enough answers to go on.

[afterthelastreset]

A Family

What exactly made up a family? Most would picture a small house with a picket fence, a mom and dad, and a little boy and girl running around. But truth is it's not always that simple. Family is beyond blood or marriage. It's who's always making you smile and there for you....Or in his case a smiling lunatic that wouldn't leave him alone for five minutes.  It was hard to concentrate on the stack of paperwork when a floating purple imp kept staring at him over for is shoulder at him working nonstop. Turning his head, he gave the lunatic an irritated look to which he just smiled at. "You shouldn't, shouldn't be working this late. It's not healthy, healthy. The stress is bad you know-" "Well how doth thou thinkest I feeleth when mine privacy is invaded constantly!" The floating man shrugged and turned to lay on it's stomach. "Can you really blame me? After all this thing, thing was your idea." He groaned before turning back to the stack of papers. How much stuff did Lancer go through? "I amst not disabled...just...a bit more uncapable of doing certain things. *ahem*" He made a hum noise, the kind that sounded like he didn't really beleive him. "Oh!...G-Go stuff thine head in thy dirt with the other worms!!" He gave off another round of giggles and floated over to lean against his back as he continued to bend over the paperwork and write. "You're too stubborn, stubborn for you're own good. Relax, relax." "And exactly how amst I supposed to doth that when thou won't leaveth me alone for five minutes!!" He shot Jevil a look over his shoulder and the gremlin leaning against him shrugged. "This was all your idea, idea. Something about missing, missing the joys of children." "I thinkst I get it! Thou doesn't need to rubbeth it in." "I wasn't trying, trying to. Im only thinking of our youth, youth." Rouxls didn't answer this time and instead suddenly found the paper very interesting as he looked at it instead of Jevil. The Imp chuckled at the action and poked his shoulder a few times to get back his attention, but the worm was more stubborn when he wanted to be. After a few moments, the tapping at his shoulder stopped and he continued to refocus on the work in front of himself. With a sigh he dipped the weather back into the inkpot and refocused back onto his calligraphy.  The jester remained oddly silent. Usually hed be clingy as a love struck rabbick, even more so as the news of the new arrival who would soon be joining their family of loons. Here's hoping the baby wouldn't be too much like Jevil or Seam. The two were overcrowding him enough as it was, sometimes literally ignoring their own jobs just to bud into whatever he was doing and get to him to qoute 'relax', but hed be lying if he didnt think it wasn't a sweet gesture. Considering he could sometimes go a bit far with his work....sometimes. A light russle of paper sounded out. A second later he could feel one of the papers under his hands begin to slowly move from under the pile-  Said hand slapped down on the paper but it was quick to slip from in between his fingers and into the suspended air. It stalled a moment before zipping behind him out of his veiw. "HEY!" His head whipped to the side to the sight of Jevil sitting crosslegged in midair reading the containts of the paper with a raised brow. He reached a hand out as to grab the paper, but jevil just casually floated out of his reach. To be fair his reflexes weren't the fastest at the moment with the extra weight, and that frustrated him to no end. "Wouldst thou mindeth giving that backest?" "No wonder, wonder you're so cranky. So cranky. " He turned from the paper to him. "This tax, tax work makes no sense, sense." "Well someone has to do it. And Lancer tis nay capable of doing any sort of lawkeeping." He hummed before giving Rouxls a smile. "Why don't I give you a hand, hand?" To which Rouxls frowned. "What art thou spewing noweth?" "I can lighten, lighten the work load." He rose a brow. "THOU knows how to doeth taxes and thine law calligraphy?" He nodded. "And how doth thou knoest that?" "Taxes and politics are chaotic, chaotic. Of course, course I would understand it." Of course that would be his answer. With a sigh he looked back to the small stack of papers still on the desk, it wasnt too big. He could probably finish it himself within a few hours, but knowing Jevil, the loon wouldn't stop unless he agreed to let him help out someway or another. But if he screwed up any of this stuff, it would result in a bigger headache later. Was it worth the trouble- More papers flew up with a snap of Jevil's claws and the loon to glanced through the floating papers. He sighed and reached a hand up to rub his face. "Art thou sureth thou knows what you're doing?" "I CAN DO ANYTHING!" Rouxls groaned and rolled his eyes but didn't argue and went back down to what papers were left on the desk. Only to find that there wasn't any left. "Whomst thee-?" He looked back to the floating menace who was casually lounging on his back, similar to how one woulf in a hammock, humming away to himself. Paper after paper went in front of him, something scribbled down on each of them before flying off with a flick of his wrist. One after another. It took him a moment for his brain to realize what he meant by 'helping' was taking all the papers and just writing his name on them all. "And just what art thou doing to mine papers?! That tis forgery!" He attempted to reach for them but Jevil simply pushed his hand away without looking at him. "That's illegal and against thine rules!" "You and your boring, boring rules and laws. Trust me. When have I, I caused you wrong-" "Tis that a rhetorical question?" "Oh let me, me perform my duty." Rouxls sputtered but pouted and sat back in his desk chair. Jevil giggled at his win and continued to focus on the task at hand as the worm was still grumbling at his antics. But fighting against Jevil would just result in going no where. Especially in his current state. After a few minutes of just sitting there with the scratching of paper he groaned and looked back to him. "Art thou finished yet?", he asked irritated. "Almost, almost," he replied without even looking at him, "So impatient. Impatient." "Well what doth thou expect?!" He could feel his eye twitch. "Thou and Seam art driving mineself mad with thous' overbearing insistence on helping me and nay giving mineself space! Thou art treating me like a fragile flower!" For a moment the scribbling stopped and the wide grin of the imp slowly turned to him as Jevil turned his head and looked down at him with a raised brow. Rouxls inturn rose a brow back in confusion hen he didn't say anything.  "A flower, flower you say?~ Hehe. Then you're saying Im helping, helping you bloom, bloom." The worm went quiet for a moment, Jevil giggled as his brain worked on the reversed logic thrown at him. And his face became bluer, and bluer as he sputtered and forced out something that sounded like, "I-Insolent worm!" Making Jevil go into another laughing fit at the angry blue worm. "You know you love me, me.~" "Well....T-Thou makest it v-very hard to do." "Good. Now hush up and relax, relax. Ill be helping, helping for a lllloooong while."

A mimi nosuit fic. I don’t own the characters.
